lyrics

pick up your chin
and dry your eyes
the day won't wait
for you to cry
and the salt in the wounds
does nothing but ruin
a new day's sunrise
take off your shades
but don't look at the sun
close your eyes
and know what's done is done
but the salt in the wounds
does nothing but ruin
a new day's sunrise
soon enough
the night will come
time for tears
or we could run
we could run away
away away away
cause the salt in the wounds
does nothing but ruin
a new day's sunrise
pick up your chin
you ain't the only one
the day don't wait
and what is done is done
and what is done is done
and what is done is done is done
